Lifeline’s Prison Directorate staff training packages have undergone a comprehensive review to support the development of our teams working across prison establishments. In 2016 a full programme of revised and new training packages is available.

To support delivery of these training packages, we need to identify and train a number of enthusiastic and skilled area trainers who are working in a prison based role. This is a unique opportunity to develop new skills as well as to enhance and build upon your existing knowledge. You can use this exciting opportunity to advance your personal and professional development.

To be successful as an Area Trainer, you will have:

• A passion for delivering staff training.
• The ability to represent Lifeline positively and contribute to our values led recovery approach.
• The ability to work independently within a structured framework.
• Commitment to deliver a minimum of 6 days training per year, locally and occasionally in other areas.
• The ability to deliver effective and organised training sessions, including oversight of organising sessions
• Motivation and enthusiasm.

Please note that the role will be in addition to your existing role and will require travel across your regional area and you must be able to meet this requirement. You may also be required to deliver training across the Directorate on occasion. Area trainers will be required and supported to deliver the full range of training sessions
